What is the American system of checks and balances?

Checks and Balances

The concept of "Checks and Balances" comes from the constitution. The different branch of the government "checks" each other's power and decides whether or not one branch has more power than the other. For instance, if the legislative branch has an idea for a law, they present it as a bill. They send it to the executive branch which in the United States is the president. If the president does not like it or believes in is unconstitutional, then he will veto it. Just because he vetoes it, doesn't mean it is through with. If the bill comes back to the legislature, they can vote on it again. If more than 2/3 of the senators and representatives vote to pass it, they override the president's veto. The bill then goes to the judicial branch. If the Judicial branch does not like it or believes it is unconstitutional, they can say no. In that case, the bill is completely forgotten and is not seen again. If the Judicial branch decides to pass the bill, the bill becomes law.
